Project Overview

A full residential tile roof replacement in Hollywood, FL 33019, designed to combine traditional Mediterranean aesthetic appeal with heavy-duty storm defense. Built to endure Broward County’s extreme humidity, scorching sun, and hurricane-force winds, this installation completely overhauled the secondary waterproofing layer beneath a durable, storm-rated tile assembly.

The Challenge

Where the roof started

Tile roofs are heavier than alternative systems and rely heavily on a sound underlying structure and flawless waterproofing. The existing roof on this coastal Hollywood property was suffering from aging underlayment and deteriorated perimeter flashing, leaving the home exposed to severe rain intrusion.

The previous tile underlayment had dried out and cracked, compromising the secondary leak barrier

Coastal wind-driven rain required heavy-duty perimeter sealing and upgraded deck attachment spacing

Aligning complex hips, ridges, and valley cuts required precision craftsmanship to ensure proper water shedding

Scope Of Work

What we did

Perform a total tear-off of the damaged roof assembly down to the structural deck

Reinforce underlying plywood decking and re-nail structural sheets to current Florida High-Wind Building Code

Lay down a continuous, self-adhering modified bitumen underlayment for secondary moisture protection

Install custom-fabricated metal drip edges, valley liners, and wall transition flashings

Precision-align and fasten Florida-approved roofing tiles using high-bond foam adhesive and mechanically fastened hip/ridge components

Materials & System

What was installed

Florida-rated concrete/clay roof tiles with high-wind resistance profile

Self-adhering high-temperature modified-bitumen underlayment membrane

High-yield tile adhesive foam system engineered for hurricane wind uplift standards

Corrosion-resistant metal valley, wall, and perimeter flashing components

Project FAQ

Questions about this project

Why are tile roofs so popular in Hollywood, FL?

Tile roofing offers incredible durability against intense heat, UV rays, and salt air corrosion while delivering a classic, Mediterranean look that can last 40 to 50+ years.

Is a tile roof heavy, and can my home support it?

Yes, tile systems are heavy. Before installation, our team evaluates the roof deck and supporting structural frame to ensure it meets all weight distribution and safety requirements.

How does foam adhesive tile installation compare to traditional mechanical fastening?

Tile adhesive foam provides superior wind uplift resistance compared to nails alone, distributing wind forces evenly across the roof deck and eliminating unnecessary nail penetrations in the underlayment.
